In this guide, we will set up the Groundhogg extension for Shopify to import existing customers (Contacts) from your Shopify store into Groundhogg. This system will also check each hour for new contacts and import them on a continuing basis.
Note: If you will not be using the Shopify benchmarks in Groundhogg funnels, you should follow this guide to ensure your customers are transferred successfully to Groundhogg.
